Regular preventative maintenance appointments keep your Acura running as the manufacturer intended. Fortunately, your Acura dealer offers services to make this as simple as possible. This makes it easy to experience benefits like a more fuel-efficient car and helps prevent expensive repairs. more 1. Prevent Expensive Repairs A great Acura technician will check the vehicle over when it's brought in for regular maintenance. This gives them a chance to spot problems early on. For example, they might notice a faulty part that has become weakened. They can replace this before it fully breaks and causes damage that would lead to expensive repairs. 2. A More Fuel-Efficient Car Regular maintenance optimizes your Acura, so it runs more efficiently. When a vehicle's tires are underinflated, the car has to work harder to keep the vehicle moving. If oil filters are clogged, the vehicle has to work harder to push oil through the filters. The harder a car has to work, the worse the vehicle's fuel economy will be. Acura's that are brought in for regular service appointments run cleaner, smoother, and are more fuel-efficient vehicles. This leads to savings at the gas pump and a lower carbon footprint. 3. Retain Your Car's Value With Service From Your Acura Dealer The technicians at the dealership are highly trained in Acuras. This means they have intimate knowledge specifically of what the manufacturer intended for Acuras. They perform maintenance and repairs with those specifications in mind, keeping the vehicle in excellent condition. Used car buyers are looking for a great vehicle that's in top condition and has a full-service history. Bringing your Acura right into the dealership for service appointments will give you a higher chance of achieving the best resale value possible. 4. Improved Safety Acuras have a very strong reputation for building safe cars with strong body structures. It's important to keep all of the vehicle's parts well-maintained in order to keep them as safe as possible. For example, regular maintenance will include tasks like replacing worn-out brake pads. This keeps your vehicle stopping in time to prevent collisions. Services like tire rotations, oil changes, and replacing timing belts will also reduce the chances of a vehicle breaking down. 5. Save Time Major repairs are not only expensive, they are a huge hassle that cost drivers a lot of time. Often, major repairs will mean that drivers have to rent another vehicle and plan their days around the repair schedule. Regular maintenance appointments prevent these kinds of major repairs and can be handled quickly. In fact, at Ed Martin Acura, we provide our customers with an Acura Accelerated Service program. Customers who use this program are in and out of our dealership within 60 minutes. Our team of technicians provides comprehensive services to keep your Acura in top condition.

Transmissions are filled with intricate moving parts that need to be kept in tip-top condition. If you ever allow your car's transmission fluid to degrade or a small gearbox problem to develop, you might end up with a difficult and expensive repair job on your hands. Routine transmission service at your local Acura dealer is the key to keeping your transmission well-maintained. Here's what this service will usually entail. more Flushing the Transmission Fluid Transmission fluid lubricates the bearings, gears, valves, and other moving mechanical parts, helping to reduce friction and heat. The fluid also cleans out debris and contaminants from the gears and maintains hydraulic pressure, which helps the entire system work. Over time, transmission fluid naturally starts to break down in all the heat and friction. As it loses its beneficial qualities, the fluid needs to be flushed out and replaced. When you take your car in for servicing, the old fluid will first be drained. The condition of the drain plug will be checked, and then new fluid will be put into the transmission. It's important to have a technician carry this task out because using the wrong fluid for your vehicle's make and model could cause harm to your gearbox. Replacing the Transmission Filter Dirt, debris, tiny metal fragments, and other contaminants can build up in transmission fluid as it flows through the system. The transmission filter collects this debris, thereby keeping the fluid clean. During routine service, the filter will be checked. If it's too clogged up with dirt and debris, it will be replaced with a new one. Often, the pan will also be checked, and a fresh gasket installed at the same time. Full Transmission Inspection and Clean The most complete service will involve inspecting every part of the transmission carefully for signs of wear, tear, leaks, and other issues. The pan and pan gasket will be cleaned or replaced, and the transmission sump will also be examined. The entire internal system will be inspected for signs of damage or trapped debris, including the planetary gears, torque converter, hydraulic pump, clutches, brakes, valves, bearings, and other parts. Once serviced, the transmission will be tested to ensure it's all in good working order. How Often To Have Your Transmission Checked at Your Acura Dealer It's best to ask a trusted technician how often the transmission of your car requires a routine service visit. Most automatic transmissions need to be serviced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, whereas manual transmissions typically need servicing more frequently: every 30,000 to 60,000 miles.
